Awards (past 5 years): No awards publicly published by IIS for 2021–2026 are listed on the IIS site. The site's public materials emphasize IB/CIS/ACAMIS/AAIE/ACMIBS accreditation and MOE evaluations rather than post-2020 awards. For context, older Taiwan MOE evaluations noted by IIS include 2019 High School Evaluation – A+, 2017 Middle School Evaluation – A+, 2013 High School Evaluation – 1st Prize, 2013 Middle School Evaluation – A+, and 2010 High School Evaluation – A+. These older MOE recognitions are the most recent awards the site explicitly records in its public pages. (Citations: Accreditation page; History page.)
